Answer:
.42 is an answer that will work.

Answer:
-x-30
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>first you need to </em><em>distribute</em><em>:</em>
<em>3(x)+3(-6) -4(x)+ (-4)(3)</em>
<em>Then you </em><em>multiply:</em>
<em>3x+(-18)-4x+(-7)</em>
<em>then you </em><em>combine like terms:</em>
<em>3x-4x= -1x </em>
<em>-18+(-7)= -25</em>
<em>simplified:</em>
<u><em>-1x-30</em></u>
